As is standard practice on many corporate websites, PureVolume also logs non-personally-identifiable information including IP address, profile information, aggregate user data, and browser type, from Listeners and other visitors to the site. This data is used to improve the website services, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. PureVolume will not use the information collected to market directly to that person. This non-personally-identifiable information may be shared with third-parties to provide more relevant services and advertisements to Listeners. User IP addresses are recorded for security and monitoring purposes.
In addition PureVolume uses pixel tags — tiny graphic images — to tell us what parts of our website have been visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site. Pixel tags also enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read. And they tell us whether emails have been opened to assure that we’re only sending messages that are of interest to our customers. PureVolume stores all of this information in a secure database.
Listener Profile information including Listeners' pictures and first names is displayed to people in order to facilitate user interaction in the PureVolume social networking community. Listeners' full names are never directly revealed to other Listeners.
PureVolume may also use a Listener’s email address to send updates, a newsletter or news regarding the service. PureVolume may send email messages which use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the PureVolume website. When a customer clicks one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. PureVolume tracks this click-through data to help determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

Listeners may be asked to provide personal information including name, email address or home address or to answer questions in order to participate.
